My little Artist Girl loves Her Bics

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So You remember those mechanical pencils from when we were kids and how they were flimsy feeling? And how the lead would break if it was pushed anymore than a millimeter? And how the eraser sucked. And also how they were not at all fun!!
These pencils are on a whole new level! I was shocked by the quality of the Velocity pencil, it feels like an expensive pen, it feels more ergonomic in the sense that it is weighted perfectly, not light and chinsy!! I clicked the lead out to about a centimeter much longer then necessary to really test the claim that is is strong lead. And wrote like you would see a child write you know not softly, Lol, and boy this lead dis not break!! I swear it didn't I was floored!! Then I tested the erasers claim to see how it worked. And while I did see some marks left, that was because I dug that pencil lead in haha! Because with normal use like my daughter did with her sketches it erased beautifully!
I appreciate the comfortable grip and how this isnt super thin in between your fingers like those old school ones! I also like the retractable tip, I'm used to pens, so that is another way this is better in my opinion who wants to use an old boring pencil?!?!
Last point I loved about this pack of 5 pencils is you get an assortment of colors, and refills of erasers and lead. And like I said earlier the lead lasts a long long time!! So these are perfect.for tests! In fact I think these should be a requirement for testing.
So lastly I have to say if you have any kids or even yourselves that enjoy pencil art work you should think about grabbing a pack of these, they work wonders for sketching, and also dark thin lines!!
All in all I do highly recommend these pencils to anyone who has kids in school, anyone who likes pencils or pens, anyone who writes haha! Honestly everyone should try these!!

I did receive this product free for testing and review purposes. but all opinions are my own honest ones.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The children said "These Bic Velocity Mechanical Pencils are awesome!!! The rubber grip is much easier on your fingers. They love drawing with them, never having to get up and go sharpen their pencils, and most of all, the pencils are cool.

Best mechanical pencils ever!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son, age 13, has never really liked mechanical pencils, finding them awkward to use and the lead easy to break. So, when I asked him to try these out, he was skeptical. The first thing he commented on was that they "felt good"...although it took a little getting to used to because they felt more like a pen. He found them much easier to write with than other mechanical pencils he has tried, although he still found that he had to hold them at a slightly different angle than a "regular" pencil in order to have a smooth script. Overall he said he would probably still use non-mechanical pencils, but would keep one or two of the Velocity Mechanical pencils in his backpack for back up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pencil writes smoothly but doesn't erase completely. The cute colors and extra lead and erasers are a bonus.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are a lot of fun! My daughter loves to draw and has been enjoying the pencils and their colorful barrels! The lead is beautifully smooth to write and draw with and erases cleanly by using the eraser which is conveniently attached to the other end of the pencil under a nifty cap! My daughter has started using these to help her with her summer project for school and is looking forward to using these at school too! We really like that the set comes with spare erasers and lead and that they are contained in their own tubes for storage and are easily accessible.... its pretty neat! All ready for the next round of drawing!
